They fought over about some land owning because of Peter Minuit he kind of tricked the Lenape Indians to buy Manhattan from them for $24 or maybe they fought about Europeans destroying the nature because Native Americans really appriciate nature but the Europeans didn't really. hope this information is useful enough. :)
